growing up does not need to come at the expense of child-like beliefs.
like world peace, love, honesty, whole families, beauty or romance.
aiming for pragmatism should not be an excuse to the fact that really, one does not hold these beliefs strongly enough for them to manifest.
the world teaches us to chase its standards of wealth and excellence, and far too many are fooled into this race.
some may think that these child-like beliefs belong only in leisure, in fictional literature, in childhood.
"grow up, thats not the real world, you'll see."
but what you need to see is that their very existence gives the world its balance, without which comes deceit, manipulation, cost-efficiency, exploitation and inhumanity.
we made the 'real world'.
we tipped the balance in favour of pragmatism.
i dont suggest its eradication, really.
merely a reinstatement of at least an equal status and emphasis.
people change, everyday
they change like you
i got all the time in the world
people cry, all the time
they cry like me
we got all the time in the world.

suffering is but a means by which He draws us closer.
in greater dependence and greater reverence.
teach me, dear Lord, to live all of my life.
through Your eyes.
take me, mould me, use me, fill me.
call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me.
i give my life to the Potter's hand.
there was a moment in time when the universe was dark.
no movement, no purpose, no life.
just an emptiness, a void that begged occupation.
in such a place as this, nothingness was rampant.
this is the state of affairs at the end of this particular road, of all the other roads to choose from.
a stillness that signified not peace, but numbness.
a lack of hope.
but He said, let there be light.
in such a place as this, even a tiny glimmer of light is enough to capture attention.
and one cannot help but be drawn to this glory, with eyes turned upon Him.
turn your eyes upon Jesus
look full in His wonderful face
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace.

God is love, and if i were to follow Him in Christ-likeness, I need to love.
not a love that is secular, conditional or convenient, but one that is greater than the self, that touches the hearts of others.
and because it cannot come from one's being, it must come from the strength of my Father.
reminded again, how music lives in my soul.
its Your stubborn love that never lets go of me
i dont understand how You can stay
perfect love, embracing the worst in me
how i long for Your stubborn love.
